Smartmatic Electronic Voting will have to pay for failing computers during last Belgian regional elections

Smartmatic will not receive 16.5% of the first agreed payment, because its systems failed repeatedly in the last regional Belgian elections which caused lost votes. They will have to improve their systems. Smartmatic declined to comment except to say that more time to prepare might have helped. Well at least it's not Diebold. The Belgian governments are not considering reverting back to pen & paper.
